Why my Echo Trimmer engine cranks but won't start?

If your Echo Trimmer engine cranks but struggles to start or doesn't start at all, here are some potential causes: * A clogged fuel strainer or fuel line: In this case, you should clean or replace the affected component. * A fuel mixture that's too rich: Open the choke. * A muffler wet with fuel: Clean or replace the air filter; also, adjust the carburetor. * No spark: Turn the switch to the ON position, adjust to 0.65mm (0.026in.), clean or replace the spark plug, or replace the spark plug. For carburetor issues, no fuel at the cylinder, electrical problems, or interlock switch malfunctions, it's best to consult your Echo dealer.
